Pesticide Weapons

Once an armor class reaches Tier 8, a special Pesticide weapon is unlocked in the shop. This weapon is free (considering you earned 79O,OOO+ XP and money to get it) and is considered the ultimate weapon against the Ravagers.

All Pesticide Weapons do 5OO,OOO points of damage, and enjoy a 150 game-meters radius (this may be less for the Pesticide Rifle). Essentially, whatever is caught in the blast is killed instantly, except for certain Boss Elites on Inferno difficulty -- this naturally includes you and your teammates.

This is the Standard (Trooper) Armor's Pesticide weapon and considered to be a rocket launcher. It shares the same game model as other rocket launchers, so be sure to pick a different weapon (or eye ball your weapon status) to make sure you are not using this weapon at close range.

The weapon has a zoom (2x) and a 15 second reload time that cannot be shortened with active reload.

This is the Battle Armor's Pesticide weapon and considered to be a grenade launcher. It shares the same game model as other grenade launchers, so be sure to pick a different weapon (or eye ball your weapon status) to make sure you are not using this weapon at close range.

The weapon uses a timed fuse (detonates 1.5 seconds after the shot lands on the ground) and has a 15 second reload time that cannot be shortened with active reload.

This is the Tactical Armor's Pesticide weapon and considered to be a missile launcher. It shares the same game model as other missile launchers, so be sure to pick a different weapon (or eye ball your weapon status) to make sure you are not using this weapon at close range.

The weapon requires a manual lock-on to a single target, and a has 15 second reload time that cannot be shortened with active reload. The turn rating for the missile is rated at a "D" to prevent the warhead from making 180-degree turns.

This is the Jet Armor's Pesticide weapon and considered to be a sniper rifle. It shares the same game model as other sniper rifles, so be sure to pick a different weapon (or eye ball your weapon status) to make sure you are not using this weapon at close range.

The weapon has a zoom (3x) and a 3 second reload time that cannot be shortened with active reload. Due to the Jet Armor's unique reloading process, this weapon can be fired "the fastest" (two shots within 3.1 seconds). It takes a Tier 8 Jet Armor to recharge all 100 energy units used to reload the Pesticide Rifle in ~7 seconds. This means a sustained shot rate of 1/10 seconds, far faster than the other Pesticide Weapons.

The Genocide Gun in Earth Defense Force 2017 did 1,OOO,OOO damage and functioned like a rocket launcher. The Pesticide weapons in Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon do 5OO,OOO damage. The major difference was the Genocide Gun did not damage UFOs (carriers) or special enemies (Boss Elites) unlike Pesticide weapons. The damage to the surroundings are about the same.
